Yeah dude its blended in, can't tell at all aye, he did a really good job - very happy with it. Except 3 imperfections but ive talked to him & he's more then happy to fix them up for me (I tihnk they just need to be buffed out).I8A4RE wrote:Dude that looks f**ken awesome. Well done. Hard to see but looks like they have blendid the paint in well too or did the paint the whole roof pillars and all?
Thats rightGholdwayne wrote:omg stef! and how much did it all cost ? did you say 800 ?
Haha dude shouldve honked, I dont think i saw you though, what colour car and how long ago? I see FTO's all the time but I swear none are in the club T_T.... lol.Fto_Jason wrote:haha dam i knew i saw you the other day! haha Driving on Newnham road or how ever its spelt in rochedale
So yeah - then I work sat-wed on my normal job so yeah looks like a little pause before I do anything but yeah hopefully smash down some little things inbetween work haha nah didn't see I just saw the cut out pieces and where he welded in new plates .. Can't get pics without taking our hole sunroof holder thingo though - and instead of using glue to put it back together he used sikaflex or whatevr it's called - and he coated it all in fish oil apparently prevents rust o_0Gholdwayne wrote:btw stef, did you see how the roof was painted ? i wanna know some details on what happened.. iv done some work on my roof rust but i *think* that its still growing very slowly but lately its been very very slow. i wanna know what kinda work they done to it
Haha yeah Im thinking about doing 18s even for the extra hight haha - I'll see how I go - I don't want to much scrubbing lol ... Yeh will post pics when I get it doneJ wrote:woah roof looks great now!
nice rim choice, i reckon the silver will look ace. it will make them seem like 18's since they dont blend in.
1 tip on black/polished rims... they make your rims look smaller since the lip stands out. i went for 18's for this reason alone
make sure to post pics when they are on
gotta go in for service, rear main seal & rear engine mount.silverGPX wrote:looks like they just cut it out lol.
